MFT February Release Countdown: 3!

Hi there everyone! Welcome back to the February Release Countdown from My Favorite Things! Only three more days until all of the new release goodies will be available for purchase! But today we've got even more fabulous introductions for you so make sure you head on over to the MFT Blog for all of today's details!

I made two cards today that feature the new Wavy Greetings stamp set and Ride the Wave Die-namics, along with the Houndstooth Background. The colors I used are Natural, Primitive Cream and the brand new Coral Crush.

I love the new Wavy Greetings stamp set. The curve in the sentiments match the Ride the Wave Die-namics perfectly. It's been a while since I used my favorite Mini Hybrid Heirloom Rose and Leaf-Filled Flourish so I took the opportunity to use them today. They pair beautifully with these new sets.

Here are my two cards. I am a huge fan of using the same colors when making more than one card. I also love making coordinating cards with slightly different layouts. I also didn't use the Ride the Wave Die-namics as they were intended to be used. Instead, I used one of the dies to make the curve on the Natural piece of card stock to accommodate the sentiment. I was trying to think outside the box. What do you think?

I stamped this Mini Hybrid Rose with the Linen Background.

The finished inside:

Isn't this one fun with the sentiment on its side?

This Mini Hybrid Heirloom Rose was stamped with the Houndstooth Background. Love the new Coral Crush color.

Jackie Pedro, you are a freaking genius! I never would have thought to use these dies for just one edge and for elegant cards! I absolutely LOVE what you've done with them! Of course I still need to buy the dies AND the sentiments, but now they aren't just for fun and bright colors and horizontal cards, they can be elegant! OMG! TFS!! I love you!
